Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Rich Royal Orange. Although this is an "old" variety, it is still one my favorites. Because of its many fine qualities (high bud count, large flowers, multiple stems, reliable performance) has been used in developing modern hybrids such as Hadeco's "Double Six" Bulbs are 22-24 cm. This size generally produces 1-2 blooming stems. Newly imported from the Netherlands with good roots.
